D&D's New Official Actual Play: Dungeon Masters
Wizards of the Coast has launched its new official Dungeons & Dragons actual play series, Dungeon Masters, and early reception is enthusiastic. The show stars Jasmine Bhullar, Neil Newborn, Devora Wilde, Christian Navarro, and Mayanna Berrin, and according to Polygon, "it's great."
Beyond entertainment value, Wizards of the Coast has confirmed the series will serve a dual purpose: previewing unreleased D&D content before it hits shelves. If you want a sneak peek at upcoming releases in action, this is where to look.
Horrified Heads to Ravenloft
The popular Horrified board game franchise is making its boldest jump yet — into the Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft setting. GamesRadar has an exclusive first look at the new game, which takes the acclaimed cooperative monster-fighting formula into one of D&D's most iconic horror environments.
